Translation of Poetry Approached by the Principle of“Beauty”——A Review of X.Y.Z.'s Translation of Grief beyond Belief

This paper makes a detailed analysis of the poem Grief beyond Belief (sheng sheng man) trans- lated by Professor Xu Yuanzhong (X.Y.Z.) to reveal his translation principles of“Three Beauties”.As is shown by the author,the English translation succeeds in converting the beauty of implicitness of the origi- nal into that of exactness and plainness and changing the SL static beauty into that of dynamic synaesthesia with rhythmical beauty.It concludes on such a basis that the appreciation of poem translation needs to be approached by an aesthetic eye so that we can rectify the prejudices of poem translation.
